1884 'Holey' Cent Pattern in Nickel
Designed by Eastman Johnson, PR68 Cameo
Judd-1721, The Finest Known
1884 1C One Cent, Judd-1721, Pollock-1929, R.5, PR68 Cameo
PCGS. Eastman Johnson's "holey" design for the cent with the
center perforated with an irregular circumference. The obverse
bears the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA about the upper rim and
the date at the bottom. The reverse shows the denomination ONE CENT
at the top with an inverted shield and two laurel sprigs below.
Struck in nickel with a plain edge. A curious feature of these
patterns is that the hole in the center appears to be hand-cut. On
this piece it is almost perfectly done. A nice complement to the
near-perfect preservation of this pattern's surfaces. Each side is
mostly brilliant, but there are just the faintest milky flecks and
dabs of golden color evident when closely examined. This piece is
the finest certified at both of the major services (8/13).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AL9, PCGS# 62150, Greysheet# 15118)
